Come, let us turn 
Through yon untrodden avenue, and muse 
Where rest the ancient dead. Lo, what a throng 
Have given their fleshly vestments to the worm, 
'Neath these still shades ! Here, first the forest sons 
Buried tlieir smitten people, ere the feet 
Of our pale race invaded them — to die. 

Thou, who dost pore amid yon mouldering stones 

So patiently, deciphering the trace 

That the dull tooth of Time hath worn away. 

Canst tell me where the Pilgrim fathers sleep. 

Who with their ploughshare stirred this rocky glebe, 

And taught the echoes of the wilderness 

The voice of psalm and prayer ? 

Methinks even now, 
From their unnoted sepulchres they warn 
Alike the idler and the man of care 
How soon to Death's forgotten cell shall speed 
The shuttle of their days. For all her sons. 
With saddest sigh of hollow-breathing winds,

Soft, vernal tears, and winter's naked boughs, 
Our mother Nature mourns. 

She tells how vain 
The pride that lurks in gorgeous monuments. 
The pyramid, the stained sarcophagus, 
Betray their trust. Still, there's a life that lives 
Amid the mouldering clay, and silent clings 
To human sympathies. We speak to them 
Who speak no more, — and listen for their words, 
Forgetful that the interminable veil 
Is drawn between us. 

Yet they have a voice, 
A tombstone witness to the holy truths 
That cannot die ; and may our pulseless hearts 
Wear worthily the dear Redeemer's sign, — 
"Yea, saith the Spirit, — blessed are the dead 
That die in Him."

There arc few passages in the Scriptures more touching 
than the simple and unadorned narrative of the visit of our 
Lord Jesus Christ to tlie afflicted family in Bethany, when he 
met Martha, while her sister Mary " rose up hastily and went 
out" to the grave of Lazarus, to weep there. It teaches us to 
hallow the spot where our departed friends repose. 

The Hebrew has ever been noted for regarding with venera- 
tion the sepulchres of his ancestors — a trait of character con- 
nected with love of country, filial affection, and all the endear- 
ments of domestic life. To this day, the devout sons of 
Abraham, wherever in the wide worid they may dwell, look 
forward to a pilgrimage to Palestine, as the great and most 
sacred act of their lives ; and often the aged Jew seeks to lay 
his bones in Judea, where his fathers sleep. Altiiough a dark 
cloud now rests on that doomed land, yet numerous are the 
monuments and sepulchres which environ the holy city ; and 
the " tombs of the kings" and the burial-caves of the patriarchs 
attract the notice of every traveller, and awaken his sympathy. 
The Greeks were no less remarkable for paying iionors to 
tlie dead. Their obsequies did not cease at the burial. They 
cherished the memory of their friends with monumcnUs and in- 
scriptions, and sanctified the place of interment witli a venera- 
tion which might raise a blush in some Christian mourners in 
our own land. The Via Sacra, from Athens to Eleusis, passed 
by Ceramicus, their public cemcter}', where the ruins of many 
splendid sepulchres are still extant.

Nor were the Romans less distinguished for this sacred and 
refined respect for the ashes of tlieir ancestors. They buried 
their dead near the great highways, so that their memory 
might be ever before them ; from whence comes Siste, viator — 
Pause, traveller, at this spot Lofty sepulchres and marble mon- 
uments still survive among the ruins of the Eternal City, on the 
Appian Way. Whose heart does not burn within him, when 
he reads in Cicero — when he was quaestor in Sicily — of his 
discovery of the tomb of Archimedes among thorns and briers, 
with the cylinder and sphere upon it, which Marcellus had 
raised to his memory nearly two centuries before .' 

The preservation of the memory of our ancestors by tomb- 
stones and monuments in hallowed spots is honorable to our 
nature, and conducive to the cultivation of better and holier 
feelings. We are too apt to forget the lives and characters of 
those who adorned the circle of another generation; and, 
amidst the cares of life, and the absorbing pursuits of the hour, 
friends and connections once dear to society, when they have 
left us, are too often buried in tlie grave of oblivion. Every 
step, therefore, which tends to bring them up to memory, and 
recall their actions when alive, though it may appear a humble 
labor in itself, is valuable in its influence. 

" It is wise for us to recur to the history of our ancestors. 
Those who are regardless of their ancestors and of their pos- 
terity — who do not look upon themselves as a link connecting 
the past with the future, in the transmissions of life from their 
ancestors to their posterity — do not perform their duty to the 
world. To be faithful to ourselves, we must keep our ances- 
tors and posterity within reach and grasp of our thoughts and 
affections — living in the memory and retrospection of the past, 
and hoping with affection and care for those who are to come 
after us. We are true to ourselves only when we act with be- 
coming pride for the blood we inherit, and which we are to 
transmit to those who shall soon fill our places." — Daniel 
Webster's Speech, Dec. 22, 1845. 

With feelings, therefore, which are canonized by the good

and great of all countries, and of every age, we may approach 
the subject matter of this volume of epitaphs, gathered by a 
humble gleaner in the fields of the dead -the dead who he m 
one of the ancient churchyards of the Pilgrims of New 
England. The favorable reception of the "Inscriptions on 
the Gravestones in Northampton" is a harbinger that such 
labor will not be in vain. 

The venerable cemetery on Copp's Hill is worthy of the 
researches of the antiquary; for there many of the fathers 
of New EnMand were buried. With perseverance and much 
pains-taking, he has pursued his object, and has collected a 
large number of epitaphs and inscriptions, some of which are 
connected with historical events, and others with the early pros- 
perity of Uiis city. Many families, too, are personally inter- 
ested in this garden of the dead; for there their progemtors 
repose, where the rains and the frosts are fast obliterating every 
impression of lithography. 

In this manner a record may be handed down to other tunes, 
and a permanent transcript preserved, when the marble slab, 
the heraldic monument, and the fading slate have crumbled into 
dust. Surely, then, such an enterprise desferves a liberal en- 
couracrement. Like ourselves, tlie ancient Jews wrote then: 
inscriptions on slabs of marble, and placed them upright at the 
graves of the deceased, when more splendid monuments were 
not erected. But the stone and tlie marble have long since 
mouldered into dust, and few sepulchres can now be identified. 
There was then no ttpe in existence to give an everlasting 
duration to their names. The Valley of Jehoshaphat was the 
great place of burial for the inhabitants of Jerusalem. It ex- 
tends from the Mount of Olives to Mount Moriah, and is full of 
sepulclires. In its deptha are the Brook Cedron and the Pool 
of Siloam. Next to the holy sepulchre, no spot in Palestine is 
more solemnized by sacred reminiscences ; yet, with the ex- 
ception of the tombs of David, Absalom, and a few oUiers, 
the darkness of oblivion rests on this valley of the dead. 

The sweetest remembrances and highest motives to Christian

duty are intertwined with, and strengthened by, meditating on 
our departed friends, and making the home of the dead soothing 
to the eye and sacred to the feelings ; and more especially in 
a Bible land, in which, when we go to the grave to weep there, 
we weep not as those who have no hope. 

Distinct from the respect and affection we owe to our friends 
who have gone, there is another consideration of weight — the 
benefit which a preservation of such memorials may confer. 
They may enable heirs, in some instances, to prove their de- 
scent and trace their genealogy ; they may excite the young to 
emulate the deeds of their honored ancestors ; and they teach 
us, amidst the bustle and business of the hour, that the glory of 
this world passeth away. They stand like road-guides in the 
journey of life, casting their long shadows over the whole path 
to another world. 

British heraldry is often connected with British history ; and 
the coat of arms — though sometimes bestowed on unworthy 
objects — may reflect the lustre of other times on descendants 
whose virtues and talents have been veiled by misfortune, or 
buried in undeserved obscurity. What armorial ensigns may 
be to the living, the faithful and judicious epitaph is to the 
meritorious dead. 

It was by exploring the catacombs, obelisks, and monuments 
erected to the dead more than forty centuries ago, that Chum- 
pollion discovered a key to Egyptian history, so happily and 
eloquently elucidated by George R. Gliddon, Esq., at the Low- 
ell lectures, in this city, a few years since. 

A brief account of the celebrated spot where so many of the 
founders of Boston were gathered to their fathers may not be 
without interest to the numerous descendants of the deceased, 
and to the stranger who visits this city. 

Boston was called by the Indians Shawmut, — which signi- 
fies " living fountains," for this peninsula abounded in springs, 
— and by the English at Charlestown, Tri-niountain, either from 
three lofty hills, visible afar off. Beacon, Copp's, and Fort Hills, 
or from Beacon mountain alone, on which were " three little

rising hills " of peculiar form. The weight of historic evidence 
seems to be in favor of the last derivation. Indeed, Johnson, 
in his " Wonder-working Providence," compared Beacon Hill, 
witli its two hillocks, to the head and shoulders of a man, and 
therefore called the place Trca-mont ; and William Wood, in 
his book called "New England's Prospect," printed in 1(>J4, 
says, " To the north-west is a high mountain, witli three little 
rising hills on tlie top of it ; wherefore it is called Tramount." 
The same writer says of Boston, " His situation is very pleasant" 

Fort Hill, Beacon and Copp's Hills were all distinguished 
in our colonial history. On Fort Hill, Andros, the tyrant gov- 
ernor under James H., was imprisoned, "bound in chains or 
cords," in the castle built there about 1640, until he was 
sent home to England. This ragged cliff, as it then appeared, 
commanded the harbor. It was anciently called Corn Hill, and 
was once the site of an Indian fort. 

Beacon Hill was in tlie form of a sugar loaf, 138 feet in 
height from the water ; on tlie summit was a tall, stout mtist, 
secured by supporters, with treenail steps, and a barrel of tar 
on tlie top, forming a beacon. In times of danger this was 
guarded by a sentinel, ready to light it at a moment's alarm. 
From this circumstance it was called at first Sentry Hill. The 
view from this height was very extensive. The beacon to 
which it owes its permanent name was blown down in a vio- 
lent storm in November, 1789 ; and the year following, a Doric 
column of brick and stone, sLxty feet high, surmounted by a 
large gilt eagle, was erected under a subscription by tlie Bos- 
tonians. On the four sides of tlie pedestal, some of tlio leading 
events of the revolution were inscribed upon marble slabs ; — 
the stamp act when passed and repealed, — the destruction of 
the tea, — battles of Lexington, Bunker Hill, Saratoga, and 
surrender at Yorktown, — and tlie confederation, independence, 
peace, and forming the constitution were among the subjects 
commcinoratod. For several years this column stcod as a proud 
monument of glory, until tJiken down and the mountain wliere it 
stood levelled to enlarge the narrow territory of the growing place.

Beacon Hill was conveyed by the town of Boston to John 
Hancock, Esq., by deed, August 6, 1811. The lot is described 
in the deed as sLx rods square. It was bounded east and west 
by Bowdoin and Hancock Streets, and north and south by Mount 
Vernon and Derne Streets ; and had Temple Street been laid out 
at that time, it would have run directly over the brow of this 
hill, and included the monument ; which may give the stranger 
and the young of this day a more accurate idea of the locality 
of this eminence ; for every feature of its position is now utter- 
ly effaced. Stately houses and handsome streets occupy or 
surround its site, once so memorable as a watch-tower. But 
the monument, with its pictorial features and historic inscrip- 
tions, still exists, recorded in the page of our country's annals, 
which neither frost, nor rain, nor the innovations of modern 
improvement can efface — a convincing argument of the henefit 
which a hiimhle ivork, like this, on Copp's Hill Burying-ground 
may render to other times. 

It may be well to remark, that Mr. Hancock caused the mon- 
ument to be removed soon after the execution of his deed from 
the town, as he himself infomied the writer of this introduction. 
The marble slabs and the gilt eagle were excepted in the pur- 
chase. The four slabs were deposited in a recess on the ground 
floor at the north-eastern part of the State House, where they 
are annexed to the wall. They are four feet four inches long, 
by three feet three inches wide. The eagle has been placed 
over the speaker's chair in the Hall of the Representatives ; and 
there may this mute but national emblem of our glory excite 
all hearts to preserve our Union inviolate and forever. 

Copp's Hill, in 1G30, is thus described by Dr. Snow in his 
History of Boston, p. 105: "The hill at the north, rising 
to the height of about fifty feet above the sea, presented there 
on its north-west brow an abrupt declivity, long after known as 
Copp's Hill steeps. Its summit, almost level, extended between 
Prince and Charter Streets towards Christ's Church. Thence 
south a gentle slope led to the water, which washed the south 
side of Prince Street below, and the north side above Thacher

Street as far as Salem Street. Eastward from the clmrch, a 
gradual descent led to the North Battery, which was considered 
tlie bottom of tlie hill. South-easterly tlie slope was still more 
gradual, and terminated at the foot of the North Scjnare, leaving 
a knoll on the right, where at present stands the meeting-house 
of the Second Church." 

Copp's Hill rose gradually from Hudson's Point, so called 
from William Hudson, who owned it in 1635. This point and 
part of the hill were once the property of Joshua Gee, and Gee's^ 
noted shipyard lay at the foot of the hill northerly, a short dis- 
tance from his house in Prince Street. It was afterwards ased 
for a fortification, and called the North Battery. On the hill. 
Admiral Graves raised a battery of six guns and howitzers, and 
opened a fire on the American works in Charlestown, on the 
17th of June, 1775. Charlestown was set on fire by bomb- 
shells thrown from this height, and by a body of marines, who 
landed in the easterly part of that toAvn from the Somerset 
frigate. The scene has been described by writers with terrific 
splendor, while tlie battle of Bunker Hill was kindling that 
blaze of glory which finally triumphed in the deliverance of an 
oppressed people, and in the foundation of a great empire. 

The first burying-ground, as it is said, laid out in Boston, was 
the King's Chapel Cemetery ; for in the south-west corner of it, 
Isaac Johnson, the owner of a large tract there, was buried at 
his particular request. " He was a prime man among us, and 
ma(fb a godly end," Governor Winthrop remarked. Indeed, he 
was the principal founder of Boston — the fidus Achates of 
Winthrop, and was looked up to by Mm and the colonists as a 
guide. Mr. Johnson was the happy partner of Lady Arbella, 
whose early and untimely death was deeply lamented. He fol- 
lowed her September 30, U)29, before the name of Tri-inoun- 
tain was changed to Boston, whicli was September 7, 1(>30. 

Copp's Hill Burying-ground was the second place of inter- 
ment. It was purchased by tlie town for this purpose in lt)5!). 
The spot was originally owned by William Copp. On the hill 
once stood a windnull, which, in August, KW^, was removed

from Watertown, because " it would not grind with a westerly 
wind." It was called from this circumstance Windmill Hill, 
and afterwards took the name of Snow's Hill ; eventually Copp's 
Hill, from William Copp, became its permanent name. Mr. 
Copp's realty is thus recorded, page 15, in the " Original Book 
of Possessions " of the town of Boston, now kept in the archives 
of the city at the City Hall. 

" The possession of William Copp within the Limits of Bos- 
ton. One house and lott of halfe an Acre in the Mill pond 
bounded wth Thomas Buttolph south-east : John Button north- 
east : the marsh on the south-west : and the River on the north- 
west." 

The above is not dated, but there is reason to believe it was 
entered in 1644. 

In the Probate Office for the county of Suffolk, there is a 
record of the will of William Copp, cordwainer. It was dated 
October 31, 16G2, and proved April 27, 1G70. Among the 
items of bequest are the following : " I give to my daughter 
Rutli my great kettle, little pot and chaffen dish." — "I give to 
Lydia uiy little kettle and great pot." In the inventory is a line 
appraising " 1 hour glass and frying pan, 12 shillings." The 
amount of the inventory was almost £110 — no contemptible 
sum nearly two centuries ago. 

Copp's Hill Avas formerly claimed by the Ancient and Hon- 
orable Artillery Company under a mortgage, which was finally 
discharged. Sliaw, in his " Description of Boston," published 
in 1817, says that Mr. Copps was an elder in Dr. Mather's 
church ; but erroneously, for he had several children, and it 
was his eldest son David who filled that office. His wife's 
name, Judith, is spelt Goodeth on the gravestone, and also in 
his will. 

The foregoing origin of the name of Copp's Hill agrees with 
Snow's and Shaw's statements ; but in the " History of the An- 
cient and Honorable Artillery Company," by Zachariah G. Whit- 
man, is the following sentence, where he speaks of Nicholas 
Upshall : " Close beside him lay the gravestones of his wife

Dorotliy and friend Obadiah Copp, from whom the liill is 
named." This must be the bhinder of a careless compiler. 
Yet it shows how little is known of the man whose name is 
immortalized by tliis hill, where so many illustrious patriarchs 
sleep. 

Since the appearance of Copp's Hill in 1G30, as described 
by Dr. Snow, the features of the place have undergone a frreat 
change. Houses, streets, and wlian'es environ it ; and the 
only open space is an area of about three acres, forming the 
cemetery, and including a lot of half an acre or more, bought 
by the town in 1806, and separated from the original burying- 
ground by a handsome granite wall. The whole is surrounded 
by a high, durable, and ornamental fence of iron. The grounds 
have been laid out in regular alleys and gravel patlis, and em- 
bellislied with a great variety of native forest-trees, some of 
wiiich are of stately growth. The gravestones of many gener- 
ations have been raised up, and numerous seats located under 
shady branches, where the aged and weary may pause, and the 
mourner find a quiet resting-place. Yet it is to be lamented, 
that the mounds and hillocks of the dead have been cut down 
to an unnatural level, and so many stones misplaced to form a 
geometrical row on the borders of the paths. This mode of 
restoring and adorning an ancient churchyard is singular ; and 
to speak of it kindly, and not in anger, it certainly w;is not tlie 
act of good taste. 

This cemetery is now bounded nortli by Charter Street, west 
by Snow Hill Street, and soutli by Hull Street ; tlie eaist is 
bordered by blocks of handsome brick houses, which shut out 
the picturesque view of the harbor, so attracting in olden time. 
Indeed, this airy spot, once so rich in scenery, is almost en- 
closed by buildings. Some years ago, tlie western mirgin was 
cut down nearly twenty feet, and a perpendicular wall erected, 
making the eastern border of Snow Hill StrecL Formerly, 
before this side was dug down, tlierc was a small rise of tlic 
land to the west of some seven feet higher. This formed the 
brow of an eminence with a very steep and abrupt bank to the

shore. From this lofty height the prospect of the harbor, 
Charles River, and adjacent country must have been expansive 
and magnificent. Here the British threw up a small fort and 
erected a battery, from which they directed their fatal shells 
in the burning of Charlestown. 

At the north and north-west there is an open space, through 
which part of Charlestown heights and the Navy Yard are visible ; 
and by taking a stand a little east from the western boundary, 
the majestic Obelisk on Bunker Hill becomes visible, looming 
up in solitary grandeur, and bringing to mind the words of the 
Great Orator, when the corner stone of this monument was 
laid by the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, June 17, 18Q5 : 
" Let it rise ! let it rise ! till it shall meet the sun in its com- 
ing — let the earliest light of the morning gild it, and the part- 
ing day linger and play on its summit ! " 

In the vicinity of the burying-ground, about seventy yards 
eastwardly from the south-east corner, is Christ Church, the 
corner stone of which was laid April 15, 1723. A chime of 
eight bells was added in 1744. Under it is a cemetery of 
thirty-three tombs. The venerable Dr. Eaton, formerly rector of 
this church, in a discourse delivered December 28, 1823, gives 
an interesting history of its origin, and relates an anecdote 
somewhat singular : the sprigs of evergreen I have Italicized. 

" The following fact, which in some ages would have excited 
the superstitious veneration of ignorance and bigotry, may be 
worth recording. Some years since, in 1812, while the work- 
men were employed in the cemetery building tombs, one of 
them found the earth so loose that he settled his bar into it the 
whole length with a single effort. The superintendent directed 
him to proceed till he found solid earth. About six feet below 
the bottom of the cellar he found a coffin covered with a coarse 
linen cloth, sized with gum, which on boiling became white, 
and the texture as firm as if it had been recently woven. 
Within tliis coffin was another, protected from the air in a sim- 
ilar manner, and the furniture was not in the least injured by 
time. The flesh was sound, and somewhat resembling that of 



itntrotiuctton. xvii 

an Egyptian mummy. Tlie skin, when cut, appeared like 
leather. The sprigs of evergreen, deposited in the coffin, resem- 
bled die broad-leaved myrtle ; the stem was elastic, the leaves 
fresh, and apparently in a state of vegetation. From the inscrip- 
tion it was found to be the body of Mr. Thomas, a native of 
New England, wlio died in Bermuda. Some of his family were 
among tlie founders of Christ Church. Ilis remains, when dis- 
covered, had been entombed about eiglity years. They now 
rest in the north-east corner of the cemetery, and the stone so 
long concealed from observation is placed over them." — Shaw, 
p. 251), note. 

Dr. William Walter officiated as rector of this church from 
1792 to 1800, of whose death Bishop Samuel Parker, D. D., of 
Trinity Church, who died in 1804, remarked, tliat "religion 
mourns the loss of one of her most obedient cliildren and bright- 
est ornaments." It is wortliy of observation tliat in Christ 
Churcli was the first monument ever erected to the memory of 
Wasliington in America. Shaw * describes it, " at the east 
end of the cliurch on the side of the chancel, with a bust well 
executed by an Italian artist." 

The steeple of this church commands a rich prospect. It is 
said that Governor Gage ascended here to gaze at tiie confla- 
gration of Charlostown, and tlie battle of Bunker Hill. 

Tlie cemetery on Copp's Hill was much injured during the 
revolutionary war. From an adjacent battery tlie soldiers used 
some of the gravestones for targets, mutilated others, whenever

a patriotic epitaph tliereon excited their ire or envy, and took 
many to pave the hospital for their invalids. But the worst 
enemy to the memory of the dead — disgraceful as it may ap- 
pear — Avas among our own citizens. For within a few years, 
some of the slabs — solemnly inscribed as they were — individ- 
uals carried off with impunity to cover drains, make foundations 
for chimneys, lay at the bottom of tombs for coffins to rest on, 
or at their mouths to close up the aperture. 

There was a period in the burial history of our country which 
reflects no honor on a Christian land ; especially when we re- 
member that the Hebrews, Greeks, and Romans, and even the 
Turks, in their cypress-planted cemeteries, ever honored the 
ashes of the dead. It seemed not enough to erect temples to 
God, without regard to any order of architecture, without 
form or comeliness, looking like steepled barns, and then 
to use them for unholy purposes and town meetings ; but, 
in too many instances, the very churchyards were neg- 
lected, unfenced and uncared for, the graves exposed to 
horses, cattle, and dogs, not a tree nor a flower suffered to 
shade or bloom there, and neither walk nor path laid out among 
the falling, straggling stones, for the pensive mourner to muse 
over a loved one, or drop a tear over his grave. The sexton 
appeared to be the only frequent visitant to the spot ; the first 
with his spade and pick to disturb the solitude of the scene 
after the funeral procession had buried the dead out of their 
sight and gone home. This is no colored nor fanciful descrip- 
tion of hundreds of village churchyards, witliin twenty years 
past, on the hills and in the valleys of New England. Are 
•there not, even at this day, such desecrated spots of burial in 
some of our neighboring cities 1 Let Worcester and Roxbury 
answer ! If the manes of departed worth could speak from 
their dishonored graves, they would envy even the fate of Pali- 
nurus in his watery tomb, — 

" Nudus in igiiota, Palinure, jacebis arena." 

But, thank Heaven, a change is coming over the land. It is

not in Mount Auburn alone, nor at Laurel Hill in Philadelphia, 
nor on Green Mount in Baltimore, nor in tlic Greenwood Cem- 
etery in New York, nor in the time-honored churchyard at New 
Haven, where a more enlightened taste and holier feelings pre- 
vail. A degree of veneration is awakened, and a regard for the 
sanctuary of the grave is more generally felt in the busy world. 
We have begun to honor the aslies of the dead, and their mem- 
ory is cherislicd from the simple green mound, adorned with 
shrubs and flowers, to the solid granite and architectural mar- 
ble of the costly tomb. It soothes the heart of the mourner of 
refined feelings to think, when he walks in the valley of tlie 
shadow of death, that his beloved ones are not forgotten. 

It is remarkable that, amidst such desecration of tliese ancient 
memorials on Copp's Hill, so many epitaphs escaped destruc- 
tion, and can be identified ; for in addition to losses thus sus- 
tained, very many gravestones have been removed, with the 
remains they guarded, to churchyards in distant places, tiiere 
to be preserved with reverence. 

A singular instance of depravity, however, did occur in 
Copp's Hill Burying-ground. Here once rested the bones of 
Thomas Hutchinson, — father of Governor Hutchinson, —one 
of the greatest benefactors of this city and country, and also 
the bones of his father Elisha, son of t!ie famous Edward Hutch- 
inson, who fell in an attack of the Indians at Quabaog, in 
Brookfield, and a descendant from the celebrated Ann and her 
husband. Governor William Hutchinson, of Rhode Island. 
Their bones are now scattered before the four winds of heaven ! 
Their tomb lias passed into the hands of strangers. Over tlicir 
beautiful coat of arms their name has been expuns:ed, and tJie 
name of Thomas Lewis inserted ! 

One would think that decency — if there were a drop of 
modest blood to curdle round the heart at such a thought-of 
baseness — would at least have discovered some veneration for 
our departed patriots, if the sanctuary of the tomb, which all 
nations have respected, had no inlluence. Even the poor In- 
dian, by whom Uie sepulchral mounds in his fatlierland have

ever been regarded with the loftiest feelings of reverence, 
Avould have raised his tomahawk to cut off the sacrilegious 
hand which dared to violate the home of his honored dead. 

An infamous custom has prevailed among some of the sextons 
in this city of speculating in tombs. Finding a poor widow, or 
dilapidated heir, having a share or fractional interest in some 
old tomb under his care, the grave-digger, aware of the absence 
or death of the principal owner, and that "a living dog is bet- 
ter than a dead lion," purchases it for a trifle, seizes the whole 
by prescription, or threats of the law, calls it his own, erases 
tlie family name, clears out the sacred relics which lie tliere, 
and then makes a trade of his mortmai7i right, by selling a berth 
for dead strangers in the city, at eight, or ten, or twelve dollars 
apiece, as the case may be. This has been repeatedly done on 
Copp's Hill, King's Chapel, and other burial-grounds in the city. 

Nor is this all. After the tombs have been filled up by the re- 
mains of strangers, tlieir corpses have been carted out of town in 
the night season, or buried in a hole dug at the bottom of the 
tomb, pounded down in one horrid, hideous mass, and covered 
over, to make way for more death-money. An aged gentleman 
of respectability, residing near Copp's Hill, told me he has seen 
loads of broken-up coffins removed from tombs thus desecrated ; 
and a lady in this city recently remarked that within fifteen 
years she was in that cemetery, and there saw a collection of 
cofiins heaped up for removal ; on the fragments of one of which 
skin and hair adhered — the hair black and glossy — the long, 
fine hair of a female ; and she shuddered and turned away from 
the spectacle ! 

In King's Chapel Burying-ground, there is a tomb on the 
north side, near a window of the room of the Massachusetts 
Historical Society, where the sexton, lately deceased, thus used 
it for speculation, erased the family name on the great brown 
stone tablet, and put his own in its place. 

Such sacrilege is outrageous. It almost makes the blood boil 
with indignation. Is the law against profanity of the dead a 
mere spider's web, made by the weak to favor the wicked .-'

Kntrotructfon. xxi 



What would be tlie feelings of the tender mother, or affectionate 
daughter, in the days of their mourning, should it be told them, 
" The grave is no resting-place for the dead ; the sacred ashes 
of a husband or father will one day be scattered by the hand 
of the sexton, and a greedy, unprincipled grave-digger will 
claim your ancestral tomb for a mere pittance, and turn it into 
a mercenary charnel-house to suit his purposes " ? 

If there be any doubt of the facts here stated, let the records 
of the Probate Office in Boston be searched for twenty years 
past. It will there be seen how many sextons have left a leg- 
acy of tombs in their will, as a profitable investment to their 
heirs. Names could be mentioned, but I forbear. Will not 
"A Sexto.n of the Old School" point his heavy artil- 
lery against tliis abomination ? It ought to be investigated and 
denounced, so that no speculator in tombs and bones would 
dare to show his head among a church-going people. Let the 
city authorities look to this matter, and put a stop forever to a 
species of merchandise, next only to that of Burking for the 
dissecting room ! 

Copp's Hill Burying-ground is a locality full of reminis- 
cences. It is pleasing to observe, that the city authorities 
have sought to preser\'e the garden of the dead, and put it 
under the care of a faithful person. It has been furnished with 
a Cochituate fountain, and has become a favorite place of prom- 
enade to citizens in the nortiiem part of tlie city, remote from 
tlie refreshing walks of our beautiful Mall. It is worthy of the 
stranger's notice ; more especially if he feel interested in the 
antiquities of tliis city. He will see tombs with heraldic insig- 
nia of other times carved on the tablets ; those of Hutciiinson, 
Mountford, Goodrich, Gee, Clark, Lee, and Greenwood wUl 
arrest his eye. Nor can he pass unobserved the venerable, 
tune-touched sepulchres of those Reverend and revered men, 
Andrew and John Elliot, Increase, Cotton, and Samuel Mather, 
learned doctors of divinity, scholars of note and jjastors of ce- 
lebrity in their day, with whom tlie history of New England is, 
and forever will be, associated. Here their remains have long

slept, unconscious of the thunders which shook this hill in 1775, 
and of the tread of thousands of visitors to this spot, and of the 
voices of many a playful school, which for nearly three gen- 
erations of national prosperity have echoed near their silent 
mansion of death. Friend and foe, female loveliness and in- 
fantile beauty, here lie side by side ; in a word, here is the 
dust of many a daring, lion-hearted, devout first settler in the 
town of Shawmut, now the expanding city of Boston. 

He will see one gravestone where Grace Berry lies beneath, 
singularly shaped, and marked by the bullets of a British foe 
before the evacuation of Boston, when unholy hands used it for 
a target ; in another spot is the slab, which designates the 
ashes of Nicholas Upshall, of the Ancient and Honorable Ar- 
tillery, a public-spirited man, persecuted for religious opinions 
among a religious people ; and a little farther off stands a me- 
morial to Captain Thomas Lake, an early settler, and large pro- 
prietor in Maine, " an eminently faithful servant of God," who 
was slain by the Indians, at Kennebec, August 14, 1670. 

While meditating among the tombs in this shady necropolis, 
he may observe in the south-west corner a large and stately 
monument of granite, over a capacious sepulchre, dedicated to 
seamen of all nations, by the Rev. Phineas Stowe, pastor of the 
First Baptist Bethel Church in Boston, 1851 — a generous and 
highly honorable testimony of respect to that noble and too 
little valued class of our citizens. And from this spot let him, 
as he muses from grave to grave along these gravelled walks, 
turn to the north-east angle of the cemetery, where he will see 
a marble pyramid over the tomb of Ellis, and by its side, witliin 
the iron railing, a wide-spread weeping willow. Siste, viator. 
Traveller, pause ; for that willow casts no vulgar shade. It is 
an exotic. It grew up from a shoot taken from that lonely 
tree which hangs over tlie deserted grave of the great Napo- 
leon at St. Helena ; and it needs no poetry of the heart to feel, 
as we gaze upon the umbrage, as if every sea breeze from the 
eastern world touched its leaves with sorrow, and called forth a 
train of mournful re flections at the fate of that v/onderful man !

Sntcoliuctfon. xxiii 

The compiler of this book of Epitaphs has spared no pains 
to verify tiie facts he has published. He has sought the aged, 
and listened to their early recollections ; he has caused many 
an old gravestone, buried beneath tlie sod, to be dug up and 
carefully examined ; and he has descended into vaults, and from 
thence brought uphidden treasures. The work he has done will 
be valuable, because it will tend to perpetuate names and dates, 
which a icw years more would render it difficult to resuscitate, 
and which the antiquary of another generation might explore 
in vain among the fugitive landmarks of tradition. What Old 
Mortality accomplished witli hammer and chisel on the tomb- 
stones of the Covenanters he has endeavored to perform witli 
spade and pen. 

He only asks encouragement as a reward of labors which the 
circumstances of his life forbid him, in justice to his fan\ily, to 
bestow gratuitously. Should this volume meet with the appro- 
bation of the liberal descendants, whose ancestral memorials 
he has attempted to preserve by the imperishable power of the 
press, he will soon offer to the public a similar work on King's 
Chapel Burying-ground — the materials of which are in a state 
of preparation. 

The assistance kindly afforded him by John P. Bigclow, p^sq., 
Mayor of Boston, he would gratefully acknowledge; and also 
that of many other gentlemen, — some of high standing, — 
whose names he would gladly mention ; but a selection would 
seem invidious, and to enumerate them all might encroach 
upon the patience which tliis long, but he hopes not useless, 
preamble may have wearied. 

Boston, August, 1851. 



[The compiler is indebted to the kindness of John H. 
Sheppard, Esq., for the valuable Introduction to this volume.]

When the last scone — the closing hour — drew nigh, 

And earth receded from her swooning eye, 

Tranquil, she left this transitory scene, 

"With decent triumph, and a look serene ; 

By faith she fixed her ardent hopes on high, 

In Jesus' merits, and in him did die. 

So sh.all her grave with rising flowers be drest, 

And the green turf lie lightly on her breast. 

Here shall the morn her earliest tears bestow, 

llcre the first roses of the year shall blow, 

While angels with their silver wings o'ershade 

The ground now sacred by her relics made. 

Then rest in peace beneath this sculptured stone. 

Till Jesus' trumpet calls thee to his throne.

Mariners' Receiving Tomb, 
EMILY, 
Wife of Rev. Phineas Stow, of Boston, 
who suddenly dej)arted this Ufe 
May 18, 1651, aged 
42 years. 
The tribute of respect 
paid to the departed by seamen 
and friends is very consohng to the bereaved 
husband and his motherless daughter. 
Her devotion to the welfare of 
mariners gave her the appro- 
priate appellation of 
The Sailor's Friend. 
Her excellent judgment made her a safe adviser in 
temporal and spiritual things. Cheerfulness 
and frankness were prominent features 
in her character. ^Itmuments more 
durable than marble or brass 
are erected to her mem- 
ory in loving 
hearts. 
" She rests from her labors." 
" Her sun went down while it was yet day." 
No parting kiss, no dying words to cheer, 
But years of love, enshrined in memory dear. 
Shall wake devotion on affection's shrine, 
^Vhile musing on thy life and theme divine. 
"Not lost, hut gone before."

HERE LIES BURIED THE BODY OF 

MAJOR JOHN RUDDOCK, ESQ., 

Deceased September 2*^, 1772, aged 59 years and 2 '"°. 

He was in commission of the Peace 

and Justice of the Court and County of Suffolk 13 yrs ; 

He commanded his Majesty's North Battery in Boston 

13 yrs; 

And was selectman for the same town 9 yrs. 

Could a heart that felt, and a hand that relieved, the 

miseries attendant upon humanity — 

Could the truest patriotism, 

equally superior 

to the frowns of power and the rage of party, 

which with invincible constancy 

asserted and defended universally 

(for he was a citizen of the world) 

the rights of mankind — 

Could undeviating integrity 

in every office 

which he dignified by holding, 

joined to the most impartial 

dispensation of justice — 

In fine, 

Could extensive virtue or distinguished worth

rescue from the tomb, 

Reader, 

thou badst not been told 

Here lies Ruddock. 

Depart ! 

Imitate his virtues, 

and with him 

merit the eulogium of thy country. 

Time may efface this monumental stone, 
But time nor malice can his worth dethrone 
For villains living oft may buy a name, 
But virtue only swells posthumous fame. 



In Memory of 
CAPT CALEB IIAYDEN 

died on the 2'' day of July 

Anno Domini 1795 
in the 57"' year of his age 

" The monumental stone, by many read, 
In pensive numbers, praise the silent dead ; 
But learn that virtue softens every pain ; 
To live in glory, imitate the man 
AVho died to save, and dying, can restore 
Your rescued souls to praise iiim evermore."

Capt. Thomas Lake. (p. 2.) 

According to Betham's Baronetage, Captain Lake was of 
the nintli generation in descent from John Lake, of Normanton, 
in Yorkshire, Esquire, who was of tlie fiftJi generation from Sir 
William Caley, of Owby, Knight, only son of Hugh de Caley, 
of Owby, County of Norfolk, (wlio died in 128(3,) by his wife, 
Agnes, daughter and heiress of Hamo de Hanisted. 

Captain Lake was son of Richard Lake, of Irby, in Lin- 
colnshire, and brother of Sir Edward Lake, LL. D., Baronet, 
Advocate General of the Kingdom of Ireland, Chancellor of 
the Diocese of Lincoln, &c., who died July 18, 1G74, aged 
seventy-seven, and lies buried in tJie Cathedral of Lincoln, 
leaving his title and estate to his nephew, Thomas, son of 
Capt. Lake. John, a brotlicr of Sir Edward and Capt. Thomas, 
was living in Boston in KuG. Capt. Lake's wife, who sur- 
vived him, was Mary, daughter of Hon. Stephen Goodyear, 



202 ^ppenlif):. 

Deputy Governor of New Haven Colony, who died in London, 
1658. He came to New England, a man of fortune, and was 
extensively engaged in commercial pursuits. He was asso- 
ciated with some of the earliest English proprietors of lands in 
New Hampshire and Maine. While attending to the affairs of 
the " Kennebec purchase," in 1676, he was slain by the In- 
dians. His sons were educated in England. Thomas, born in 
Boston, Feb. 9, 1656, an Utter Barrister of the Honorable 
Society of the Middle Temple, London, died 22d May, 1711, 
aged 55, and lies buried in the Middle Temple, London. 

Capt. Lake's daughter, Anne, became the wife of the Rev. 
John Cotton, A. M., of Hampton, N. H., by which marriage 
alone, it is believed Lake has any descendants in this country. 

Mr. Cotton was son of the Rev. Seaborn Cotton, of Hamp- 
ton, N. H., grandson of Rev. John Cotton, of Boston, and of 
Governor Simon Bradstreet; great grandson of Rev. Simon 
Bradstreet, of a wealthy Suffolk family, minister of Horbling, 
in Lincolnshire, sometime of Middleburg, in Holland, and of 
Hon. Thomas Dudley, first Deputy Governor, and third Gov- 
ernor, of Massachusetts. Mrs. Cotton, after the death of her 
husband, married the Rev. Increase Mather, D. D., of Boston. 
Her gravestone, in the ancient burial-place at Brookline, bears 
the following inscription : " Madam Anne Mather, relict of 
y^ Dr. Increase Mather, formerly wife of Rev^ Mr. John 
Cotton ; died at Brookline, March 29, 1737, M. s. 74." Sir 
Biby Lake, Baronet, son of Thomas of the Middle Temple, 
inherited the title and estate of his grand-uncle. Sir Edward. 

The English branch has intermarried with the families of 
Winter, Crowther, Turner, King, Macbride, Webb, and others. 
Of this descent is Sir Willoughby Thomas Lake, K. C. B., 
Admiral of the White, in the British navy, Hon. Sir James 
Lake, Baronet, &c. 

The New England branch has, in several generations, inter- 
married with the families of Gookin, Whiting, Upham, Thorn- 
ton, Tracy, Lee, Wingate, Rogers, Jackson, Dearborn, Coffin, 
Hale, Storer, Bowles, Chadwick, &-c.

Joshua Bowles, (p. 11.) 

Mr. Bowles, born at Roxbury, May 3, 1722, was a resi- 
dent of the north end of Boston, and a deacon of the church 
there. He is described by one who remembers him, as of 
about five feet, eight inches in stature, of compact and mus- 
cular frame, and dark hair ; as silent, and of reserved manners, 
" magnifying " his office in the church by a godly life and con- 
versation, and honoring the precepts and examples of his 
fathers, particularly in the constant observance, during his life, 
of family devotions. He was brother-in-law to the Hon. Ben- 
jamin Lynde, of Salem, chief justice of the Province ; and 
son of Major John Bowles, Esq., of Roxbury, by his wife, 
Lydia, daughter of Col. Samuel Checkley, Esq., of Boston, 
born at Preston Capes, in Northamptonshire, and sister of Rev. 
Samuel Checkley, of Boston. 

Major Bowles was son of Hon. John Bowles, Esq., of Roxbury, 
by his wife, Sarah, daughter of the Rev. John Eliot, of Newton, 
and granddaughter of Rev. John Eliot, the " Apostle to the 
Indians." His son, Capt. Ralph Hart Bowles, served in the 
revolutionary army during the whole war of independence, and 
afterwards settled at Machias, Maine ; where he held various 
civil offices, as clerk of the courts, justice of the peace, &c.* 
He married Hannah, daughter of Rev. Josiah Crocker, of 
Taunton, of the lineage of the Leonards, Cobbs, Thachers, 
Gorhams, Gov. Carver, Gov. Hinckley, and Hon. John Howland, 
of Plymouth. 

Mrs. Bowles was distinguished for her energy of character, 
excellence of temper, and refinement of manners, peculiarly 
fitting her for usefulness in the frontier settlement at Machias. 
She died, July 10, 1847, aged 82, at Roxbury, and was interred 
at Mount Auburn, in the burial-place of her son, the late 
Stephen Jones Bowles. 

Samuel Bowles, Esq., editor of the " Springfield Republican," 
is a descendant from Mr. Joshua Bowles. 

* Born in Boston, March, 1759 ; died at Machias, Sept. 1813.

Pakkman Family, (pp. 27, 38.) 

An honored and distinguished branch of this family wag 
Sftniuel Parkiiian, Esq., of whom, and of his fatlier, the Rev. 
Ebenezer Parkinan, of Westborougli, Mass., we find the follow- 
ing notices in the Christian Examiner, of June, 1824: — 

"Died, in Boston, June 11, Samuel Parkmau, Esq., aged 
seventy-two years ; one of the most distinguished and eminent 
merchants ; who raised himself to great opulence, without 
losing any thing of the moderation and simplicity of his original 
character and manners, or his strong attaclmicnt to tlic retired 
habits of domestic life. He was peculiarly domestic in his 
feelings, devoted to his family and friends, and singularly suc-

unusually powerful influence with a numerous and most at-

irreparable. He had been a professor of Cliristianity forty-

years.* To the interests of that church he was zealously de-

and charitable, as well as fervent spirit.

perfect composure, and acquiesced without a murmur in the 
appointment of Heaven. Desirable as life continued to be, — 
and to few was it more so, — he surrendered it at once. He 
spoke with humility of his imperfections and unworthiness, and 
oifered a fer\'ent prayer that they might be forgiven, and that 
his attempts to do his duty might be accepted ; declaring his 
trust to be in the mercy of God through Jesus Christ. His 
death was thus consistent with his profession, and brought con- 
solation with it." 



Sarah Brown, (p. 53.) 
« 
Mrs. Brown, born at Ipswich, August 21, 1696, was 
daughter of Jonathan Cogswell, son of William, and grandson 
of John Cogswell, a London merchant, who settled in Ipswich, 
in 1G35. Her mother (married, March 24, 1685) was daughter 
of Francis Wainwright, an eminent merchant of that town, and 
sister to Hon. John Wainwright. Miss Cogswell was married, 
in 1723, to Mr. James Brown, an opulent farmer of Ipswich, 
who died in the spring of 1741, leaving an estate of £6500. 
Mrs. Brown died in Boston, while visiting the family of her 
son-in-law, Mr. Timothy Thornton, (son of Ebenezer,) who, 
about 1773-4, moved to Ipswich, and there died, 4th Septem- 
ber, 1787, aged sLxty-one. The gravestone of her daughter, 
Eunice, at Ipswich, bears the following inscription : " Here lies 
what was mortal of Mrs. Eunice Thornton, wife of Mr. Tim- 
othy Thornton, who died Sept. 13th, 1784, in the 55th year of 
her age." They left two sons, viz. : Thomas Gilbert, the first 
son, born in Boston, August 31, 1768 ; married, November 26, 
1793, Sarah, daughter to Hon. Thomas Cutts, of Saco, and 
died, March 24, 1824 ; their son, J. B. Thornton, married Eliza,

second son, married Rutli, daughter of Mr. Samuel Sewall, of

Timothy Thornton, (p. 56.) 

Mr. Thornton was the son of the Rev. Thomas Thornton, 
of Yarmouth, Mass. He was born about 1647 : a principal 
citizen of Boston, where he was admitted a freeman, May 15, 
1672. He was several times chosen one of the " Commission- 
ers " of Boston — a court of record created by the Acts of 
1651 and 1()54. Says Judge Sewall, date April 4, 1690, "This 
day, Capt. Theophilus Frary, Adam Winthrop, Mr. Jno. Clark, 
Timo. Thornton," and others, " are chosen Conmiissioners for 
y« town of Boston." December 17th, 1690, Mr. Thornton, 
Major Elisha Hutchinson, Major John Phillips, Capt. Penn 
Townsend, and Mr. Adam Winthrop, were appointed by the 
Legislature a committee to issue bills of credit to pay the debts 
of the recent French and Indian wars. This was the first 
paper currency in Massachusetts. Mr. Thornton was several 
times elected " selectman " of Boston ; in 16! 13, he, with 
Ephraim Savage, Samuel Checklcy, and Edward Bromfield, 
were chosen. In 1693, Mr. Thornton, Penn Townsend, and 
Edward Bromfield, were chosen Representatives from Boston. 
Mr. Thornton was a Representative in HYM and 1(595. 

Judge Sewall wrote in his journal, " 1714-5, January 10th, 
snowy day. Mr. Gee sends his son to invite me to Diuncr to- 
morrow at his house." "Tuesday, January 11th, went tliither,

1740, Mi. 37 years." 

Mrs. Sarah Thornton was the second wife, and widow 
of Mr. Timothy Thornton, of Boston. Her name before mar- 
riage is unknown. 



Jonathan Mountfort. (p. 81.) 

Jonathan Mountfort, founder of tomb 59, brother of 
John, was a man of liberal education, a physician and 
apothecary, and resided for many years at what was called 
"Mountfort's Corner." He was independent in his means, 
and eccentric in his habits. In 1719, he was one of the se- 
ceders from the New North Church, and among the founders 
and building committee of the "New Brick," or '■'■weathercock" 
church, for whom he was treasurer. His descendants in the

male line are extinct; in the female line, they are merged 
with the Greenough and Pitts families. 

Tlie IMountfort fliniily coat of arms, as represented over the 
tomb of Jonathan Monntfort, belonged to Hugo de Montfort, a 
Norman, who, in 1066, commanded the cavalry of William the 
Conqueror at the battle of Hastings. 

This name is known in tlic " History of England," during 
the reigns of William I., Henry H., Henry HI., John, Ed- 
ward I., Edward HI., Edward IV., and Henry VH. It is 
especially referred to in " Dugdale's History of Warwickshire," 
a copy of which is in the library of Harvard University, which 
represents the same coat of arms as those over the tomb, and 
gives an elaborate and authentic pedigree of the family, from 
Turstain de Montfort, 1080, father of Hugo, as above men- 
tioned, to Simon Monntfort, ICyi^X father of Edmund, and 
grandfather of John and Jonathan Monntfort, founders of tombs 
Nos. 7 and 51). 

It is also referred to in " Collin's Peerage," " Burke's Extinct 
Peerage," " WifFan's History of the House of Russell," and 
other works. 



Gra.vt Family, (p. 107.) 

The space enclosed within an iron railing near the centre of 
the cemetery, and which contains the tomb of the Grant family, 
was not originally a part of the cemetery. This small canton 
of land was purchased by the first proprietor, [see deed below,] 
Mr. Gee, of the owner of a field adjoining the cemetery, his 
lady wishing to have a last resting-place apart from tlie mul- 
titude. It became the property of tlie Grant family, by pur- 
chase, four generations back, and is now owned by Deacon 
Moses Grant, to whom the interest in it of the other heirs of

his father, the late Deacon Moses Grant, was conveyed, on his 
decease. The property being, as has been remarked, held in 
fee, and under no restraint as to its use, a dwelling-house, or 
any other structure, could be erected on the spot ; and, what is 
more, the proprietor has a right of way over the cemetery, 
which right of way is by common law construed to mean a 
path broad enough for cart wheels to pass over. We need not, 
however, apprehend that the worthy proprietor or any of his 
descendants will avail themselves of their private rights, to the 
inconvenience of the public. 

This enclosure holds the remains of three generations of the 
Grant family. Moses Grant, Esq., who was buried here in 
1817, aged seventy-three, was deacon of Brattle Street Church ; 
and Samuel Grant, Esq., who was buried in 1784, aged eighty, 
was deacon of the old North Church, (Dr. Andrew Eliot's.) 

The late respected Deacon Moses Grant was in revolutionary 
times a very ardent patriot. He was one of the destroyers of 
tJie tea, and one of the party who were engaged in the bold and 
successful attempt to remove the two pieces of cannon by 
night to the American lines, and who naiTowly escaped the 
pursuit of the British guard. 

One of our elder citizens remembers seeing a London news- 
paper of 1774, which contained a letter from Boston, written 
during the troubles, and referring to some of the principal ac- 
tors. It had this passage : " There is Deacon Grant, a member 
of the Cadet Company — a fiery deacon indeed ! " The pa- 
triotic composition of that company, at the time of these events, 
may be inferred from the fact that its commander was Colonel 
John Hancock !

Mariners' Receiving Tomb. (p. 128.) 

The Mariners' Monumental Receiving Tomb, in Copp's Hill 
Cemetery, Boston, was procured by contributions from seamen 
and their friends. 

The noble crew of the U. S. sloop-of-war Albany presented 
Phineas Stow, pastor of tlie Baptist Bethel, Boston, with fifty- 
two dollars, for this worthy object ; and Martin Woodworth, a 
generous sailor, collected three hundred dollarg from the mer- 
chants in a few days. The enterprise met with their cordial 
approval. 

It may not be improper to state, that many seamen who have 
been found dead in the docks, or have been accidentally (as 
we say) killed by falling from the yard-arm of a ship, have been 
buried by the city without any religious services whatever. 
We would cast no reflections upon the worthy citizens of Bos- 
ton ; for in tlie arrangements of tlie city for burying the 
poor, seamen liave shared, as well as others who liave died 
away from home and kindred. The writer, to give mariners a 
more appropriate burial, has procured from Coroners Pratt and 
Smith the remains of seamen, and incurred expenses, which 
have been clieerfully paid by seamen and others. Public at- 
tention has been called to the proper interment of sailors, and 
the call has been nobly responded to. The writer's father was 
a sea captain, his only brother is also a shipmaster, and his 
relatives arc engaged in navigating the ocean. It is natural 
that tender emotions should be awakened in his bosom for the 
stranger who finds an early grave far from his native home. 

The smiles of an approving Heaven have attended this work 
of humanity. It has called into exercise the better feelings 
and sympathies of those who are directly engaged in a business, 
the tendency of whicli is to shorten human life. It is cheering 
that, in this world of strife and tumult, tlicre is a common ground 
on which all may stand. 

Beautiful shells are to be cemented on the shaft of this monu- 
ment. Many sailors and their friends have given moaning 



216 fappenUf):. 

ocean shells, which may sing a reqniem over the sailor's resting- 
place. 

The disciples of John the Baptist " came and took up his 
corpse, and laid it in a tomb." (Mark vi. 29.) So we wish to lay 
in a tomb the mortal remains of the toil-worn sailor, Avho often 
dies homeless, friendless, and penniless. Seamen should have 
a " memorial " in the city of Boston — a city which has been en- 
riched by commerce — the fruits of the toil and sufferings of 
mariners. Bostgn will not wrong the ocean children. The pro- 
prietor of the Woodland Cemetery, in Maiden, has kindly given 
a large lot, where the bodies can be deposited when the re- 
ceiving tomb shall be full. A monument will be erected there 
in memory of seamen. 

The first three bodies deposited in the Mariners' Tomb be- 
longed to three different nations — England, Sweden, and Amer- 
ica — and occupied three different positions in the service — 
captain, officer, and sailor, — but no distinctions are known 
there ; they rest peacefully side by side. 

" It is their watch below." 

A female, a true friend of seamen, Avas the fourth body de- 
posited in the tomb. Three days before her death, she saw 
the monument that was to be erected on this tomb. It was 
completed tlie very day she was struck with death. Her hus- 
band was called upon by a gentleman to go and see the monu- 
ment, when he informed his friend that his M-ife was dying. 
It was like an electric shock. The history of this tomb is thus 
mournfully interesting to him, who, with his departed com- 
panion, for years devoted himself to benefit the long-neglected 
sailor. 

The reflex influence of efforts to respect and benefit humanity 
will not fail to bless the living. The author of this work has 
generously given ten copies of the book to the sailor's cause. 
By his request, the writer of the above has given the fore- 
going particulars, which may not be devoid of interest. Mr. 
Bridgman's work will meet with the sympathy and approbation

Rev. Thomas Thornto.v. (p. 162.) 

The Rev. Thomas Thornton was one of the noble company 
of Nonconformists who were ejected or silenced by the Act 
of Uniformity, St. Bartholomew's Day, August 24, 1662. — 
Mather's Mnfrnnlia, Book III. fol. 4. He was the successor of 
the Rev. John Miller, and third pastor of tlie church in Yar- 
mouth, froia about Kii^'J to tiie autumn of l(iit:3, or spring of

advanced age ; and after his removal to Boston, his people still 
cheered hiin with frequent tokens of affectionate remembrance. 
His fellow-sufferer under the Act of Uniformity, the Rev. 
Thomas Walley, for a while lived in Yannouth, but was soon 
settled in the ministry, at Barnstable, the adjacent town. 

A glimpse at Mr. Thornton's life in Boston, and an interest- 
ing- exhibition of the character and habits of our great and 
good men of ancient times, occur in the following extract from 
the diary of Chief Justice Samuel Sewall : " Aug. 13, 1G'J5. 
We have a fast Kept in our new chamber. Mr. Willard 
begins w"" prayer and preaches from 2^ Chronicles, xxxiv. 27. 
Mr. Allen prays." "P. M. Mr. Bayly begins with prayer, 
preaches from Luke i. 50, and then concludes with prayer. 
Sung y'^ 27 Ps. 7-10, [the version in use was the New Eng- 
land Psalm-book.] I set Windsor tune, and burst so into tears 
y' I could scarse continue singing. Mr. Thornton was here, 
but went away wlien Mr. Allen was at Prayer. Mr. Cook and 
Mr. Addington here. Mr. Serg' was diverted," &c. "I ap- 
pointed y* day to ask God's Blessing after y* death of my dear 
mother, and in particular to bless Sam. w''' a Master & calling, 
and bless us in our neiv house. The Lord pardon and doe for 
us beyond our hopes contrary to our Deserts." 

Judge Sewall visited Mr. Thornton during his last illness, 
and recorded minutely the incidents of his sickness and death. 
" Feb. 15, 3 p. m. Mr. Tho : Thornton dies very quietly, W^'' 
Mr. Gee acquaints me w"'. Is very near 93 years old." 

He was born in 1609, the son of John Thornton, of Bidforth, 
in Yorkshire, born in 1581, living 1612, and grandson of 
Thomas Thornton, by Helen, daughter to Percival, son to the 
Lord Lumley. His mother was Grace, daughter of Thomas 
Wythers, of Copgrave.* The Christian merchants, Henry 
Thornton and John Thornton, of England, were of the same 
family. 

Mr. Thornton's children were, Mary, who married Judah,

Nicholas Upshall. (p. 187.) 

Nicholas Upshall was the twenty-third member on the 
roll of the " Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company." In 
1637, he owned property from Hanover Street to the water, on 
the north-east side of Richmond Street, which was laid out in 
1G30. He left his property to his two daughters — wife of Wil- 
liam Grcenough, and the wife of Joseph Cock. lie was grand- 
father to tiie wife of Jolin Mountfort, founder of tomb No. 7. 
He was fined £ 20, and exiled by the government of " Massa- 
chusetts colony," for bribing the keeper of Boston jail to supply 
two Quaker women, then in prison, with food, otherwise they 
would have starved to death ; and afterwards, for expressing 
his abhorrence in relation to the inhuman and tyrannous acts 
of Governor Endicott and others towards the Quakers, — 
although he was of nnich influence, property, &c., and also a 
member of the church, — he was banished the colony, and re- 
sided six years in Rhode Island. On his return, he furnished 
a room in his house for the free use of the Quakers. The 
" History of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company " 
says, in reference to Nicholas Upshall, " Property, moral 
worth, public services, wife, children, friends, cannot preserve 
a man from the rutldess fangs of religious persecution. The 
respectable Quakers of the present day, (Lynn,) have recently

reclaimed the remains of their former brethren from the old 
Quaker burial-ground, lest the rapacious hands of speculation 
should trespass further. Why do they not redeem the ashes 
of those who may be considered among the first martyrs of 
their sect ? " 



Eleazer Pratt. 

Eleazer Pratt (interred in the tomb of Eliot, Kimball, 
and Pratt) was a lineal descendant from Phinehas Pratt, one 
of the first planters of New England. He was born in Cohas- 
set, and came to Boston at about the age of sixteen years. He 
resided here until the day of his death, August 21, 1849, when 
he died with the Asiatic cholera, at the age of sixty-four years 
and seven months. 

Nature endowed him with a remarkable constitution. Pre- 
vious to his death, he was never but once obliged to call for a 
physician, and his prospect for a long life to come was very 
promising — his ancestors, and his seven brothers and sisters 
having attained an age far beyond his ; the brothers and sisters 
now remaining very hale, at an average age of seventy-seven 
years. 

Witli a good constitution, he also possessed a sound mind, 
which he constantly exercised in the study of mankind. He 
died in the full belief, that when his earthly tabernacle was dis- 
solved, he should have a building, of God, eternal in the 
heavens. 

Eleazer Pratt's sister, Abigail, is now eighty years of age ; 
she never took any medicine. Last winter, she walked from 
Boston to Somerville, a distance of four miles, without much 
fatigue. His brother, Benjamin, aged upwards of eighty-two 
years, went into the woods last winter, and assisted in cutting 
his supply of wood for the season.

SlGOCRNET. (p. 137..)! 

The name of SSgourney is found among that band' of' Hu- 
guenots who sougiit refuge in New England from the persecu- 
tions that succeeded the revocation of the edict of Nantes by 
Louis XIV. The ancestor of the American branch of that 
family, Andrew Sigourney, or, according to the French orthog- 
raphy, Andre Sejournti, came to Boston, with other emigrants, 
in the winter of 1G8G, and died in that city, in 1727, at the age 
of eighty-eight. He brought witli liim his son Andrew, a boy 
of thirteen, wlw married Mary Germaine, in llJlKi, and died in 
Boston, nt the age of seventy-five. 

The Sigournoys belonged to those exiles from France, wlio, 
with tiicir pastor, Pierre Daille, formed a settlement at Oxford, 
in Worcester county, on the banks of a stream which still 
retains the appellation they gave it, of French River. The 
vestiges of a fort erected by Uiem, on a commanding height, 
are distinctly visible. In consequence of an inroad and mas- 
sacre by a neighboring tribe of Indians, they relin<iuished their 
colonial estiiblishment, and returned to Boston about the year

1700, where they and their descendants have become incorpo- 
rated among its most worthy and respected inhabitants. 

The pastor, Daille, beloved ahnost to adoration by his peace- 
ful and pious flock, died in 1715. Two lowly graves in tlie 
Granary burying-ground bear the inscription of the " Reverend 
Pierre Daille," and " Seyre, his wife." lie was succeeded in 
his sacred office by the Rev. Andrew Le Mercicr, author of an 
ecclesiastical history of Geneva. The earliest place of wor- 
sliip of this interesting people occupied the site of the present 
Universalist meeting-house in School Street, and is designated 
in the records of those times, as the "French Protestant 
Church." These, like other Huguenots who took refuge in dif- 
ferent parts of our country from the persecution of a tyrant 
king, by their industry and patience, cheerful endurance of 
privation, and unswerving, yet not austere piety, mingled salu- 
tary elements with tlie character of this new western world. 



Joseph Warren. 

Major General Joseph Warren was born in Roxbury, 
in 1741. His father was a respectable farmer in that place, 
who had held several municipal offices to the acceptance of his 
fellow-citizens. Joseph, with several of his brothers, was in- 
structed in the elementary branches of knowledge at the public 
grammar school of the town, which was distinguished for its 
successive instructors of superior attainments. In 1755 ho 
entered college, where he sustained the character of a youth 
of talents, fine manners, and of a generous, independent de- 
portment, united to great personal courage and perseverance. 

On the 18th of April, 1775, by his agents in Boston, he dis- 
covered the design of the British commander to seize or destroy 
our few stores at Concord. He instantly despatched several 
confidential messengers to Lexington. The late venerable 



Si jj^jcutiiv- 231 

patriot, Paul Revere, was one of them. This gentleman has 
given a very interesting accomit of the difficulties he encoun- 
tered in the discharge of this duty. The alarm was given, and 
the militia, burning with resentment, were, at daybreak on the 
19th, on tlie road to repel insult and aggression. The drama 
was opened about sunrise, within a few yards of tlie house of 
God, in Lexington. Warren hastened to the field of action, 
in the full ardor of his sou], and shared tlie dangers of the 
day. While pressing on the enemy, a musket ball took off a 
lock of his hair close to his ear. The lock was rolled and 
pinned after the foshion of that day, and considerable force 
must have been necessary to have cut it away. The people 
were delighted with his cool, collected bravery, and already 
considered him as a leader, whose gallantry they were to 
admire and in wliosc talents they were to confide. 

On the 14th of .Tune, 1775, the Provincial Congress of Mas- 
sachusetts made him a Major General of their forces. lie was 
at this time president of the Provincial Congress, liaving been 
elected the preceding year a member from the town of Boston. 

Several respectable historians have fallen into some errors in 
describing the battle in which he fell, by giving tlie command 
of the troops on that day to Warren, when he was only a vol- 
unteer in the fight. He did not arrive on the battle-ground 
until the enemy had commenced their movements for the 
attack. As soon as he made his ajjpearunce on the field, the 
veteran commander of the day, Colonel Prescott, desired to act 
under his directions ; but Warren declined taking any other 
part than that of a volunteer, and added, that he came to learn 
the art of war from an experienced soldier, whose orders he 
should be happy to obey. In the battle, he was armed with a 
musket, and stood in the ranks, now and then changing his 
place, to encourage liis fcllow-st>ldiers by words and example. 
Wiien the battle was decided, and our people fled, NVarrcn was 
one of tijo last who left the breastwork, and was slain within a 
few yards of it, as he was slowly retiring. His death brought 
a sickness to the heart of the comnninity, and the people

mourned his fall ; not with the convulsive agony of a be- 
trothed virgin over the bleeding corpse of her lover, but-with 
the pride of the Spartan mother, who, in the intensity of her 
grief, smiled to see tliat the wounds whence life had flown 
were on the breast of her son, and was satisfied that he had 
died in defence of his country. 

This eminence has become sacred ground. It contains in 
its bosom the a8hes of the brave who died fighting to defend 
their altars and their homes. 

Within a year after his death. Congress passed the following 
resolution : — 

"That a monument be erected to the memory of General 
Warren, in the town of Boston, with the following inscrip- 
tion : — *

The preceding memoir is taken from the Monthly Magazine, 
published in Boston, June, 1826, and is the production of Sam- 
uel L. Knapp, Esq. 

The following monument stood near the site of the present 
Bunker Hill monument: — 

* To the lasting honor of the Congress of '76, the above resolution 
was passed, but, after the lapse of three quarters of a century, we 
ask. Where is the monument ? A petition is now in preparation, to 
present to the next Congress, praying them to carry out the patriotic 
resolve of their predecessors.

John Warren. 

The personal appearance of Dr. Warren was most prepos- 
sessing. He was of about middling stature, and well formed ; 
his deportment was agreeable, and his manners, formed in a 
military school, and polished by intercourse with the officers of 
the French army, were those of an accomplished gentleman. 
An elevated forehead, black eyes, aquiline nose, and hair 
turned up from the forehead, gave an air of reflection and 
dignity, which became a person of his profession and character. 

His remains are deposited in a tomb erected for the purpose 
by his family, in the cemetery of St. Paul's Church, in Boston. 
In the same sepulchre rest the relics of his friend and brother.

great merit and distinction in the Revolution. He commanded

lawyer, and left several children, among whom are Clarissa, 
the wife of Theodore Chase, a merchant and ship owner of 
Boston ; Charles H. Bigelow, now of Lawrence, late a captain 
in the army; and George Tyler Bigelow, a justice of the 
supreme judicial court. Timothy, the eldest son of Col. 
Timothy Bigelow, was born April 30, 1767, graduated at Har- 
vard in 1786, was admitted to the bar in 1789, and became a 
distinguished jurist and legislator. He was speaker of the 
house of representatives for eleven years ; died at Medford,

honored old age. Her eldest daughter, Katharine, born 1793, 
is the wife of Abbott Lawrence, minister of the U. S. to Great

TESTIMONIALS 



The following letters, relating to this work, have been voluntarily 
tendered to the author. 

Hawthorn Cottage, Roxbury, May 2, 1851. 

Dear Sir : I return you my sincere thanks for the volume 
you so kindly presented to me, containing " Inscriptions on the 
Gravestones in Northampton and other Towns in the Valley 
of the Connecticut River." 

I am gratified to learn that you intend to publish, in 
three volumes, the epitaphs on Copp's Hill and other ceme- 
teries in Boston. By such commendable efforts to perpetu- 
ate the names and characters of those adventurers and honored 
pioneers to whom we are indebted for civil and religious fi-ee- 
dom, and all the blessings we enjoy under our admirable 
institutions of government, you will be distinguished as the 
literary Old IMortality of New England. 

That you will he amply rewarded for the services you are 
so zealously endeavoring to render your countrymen, I cannot 
doubt, by the patronage they will extend to you. 
With assurances of respect. 

Your much obliged and most obedient servant, 

H, A. S. Del^rborx. 

Thomas Bridgman, Esq. 



STesttmonials. 



City Hall, Eoston, January 2d, 1852. 
In behalf of the city government, I take pleasure in 
acknowledging your donation of books to the free city library, 
consisting of a copy of your work entitled " Epitaphs from 
Copp's Hill Burial Ground, Boston," and a copy of your work 
entitled " Inscriptions on Gravestones in Northampton and 
Springfield." 

Very respectfully, your obedient servant, 

John P. Bigelow, 

Mayor. 
Mr. Thomas Bridgman. 



At a meeting of Mount Lebanon I^odge, on the 8th of 
March, 1852, 

It was voted unanimously that the thanks of the Lodge be 
tendered to Brother Thomas Bridgman, for tlie presentation 
of a copy of his work entitled "Epitaphs from Copp's Hill 
Burial Ground, Boston." 

Copy of the record. 

Attest, Thos. "Waterman, Sec'y. 



Massachusetts Lodge, Boston, 15 March, 1852. 
Brother : I have the pleasure to inform you that, at a 
meeting of Massacliusetts Lodge, at the date hereof, in con- 
sideration of t'ae handsome and interesting volume presented 
by you, entitled, " Epitaphs from Copp's Iliil Burying- 
ground," it was 

" Voted, That the thanks of this Lodge be presented by the 
secretary to Br. Bridgman, for his acceptable gift." 
I am, respectfully and fraternally. 

Your obedient servant, • 

J. Q. Ketteli.e, 

Sec'y of Mass. Lodge. 

To Br. Thomas Bridgman, Boston. 



ST c s t i in n i a I s . 



Boston, May 2G, 1852. 

Dear Sir : You are placing coming generations under 
o1)ligations, to say nothing of the gratification the present will 
derive from your I'esearches among the tombs. 

Inscriptions in the burial-yards of Boston are becoming 
very indistinct. By accurately transcribing them, and giving 
a volume to the public and to posterity, you are really doing 
a great work, the full value of which will be appreciated in 
after times. Those quaint memorials on the old stones illus- 
trate the tone of moral sentiment, religious character, and 
early history, of those who organized the institutions of the 
city and commonwealth, which are still the pride and glory 
of the people. 

Allow me to express a hope that your efforts may be 
crowned by the approbation and patronage of the public. 
Very respectfully, your obedient servant, 

J. V. C. Smith. 

Thos. Bridgman, Esq. 



Boston, May 31, 1852. 
^Ir. Thomas Bridgman : — 

Dear Sir : Please accept the thanks of the Massachusetts 
Historical Society, for your laborious and valuable work 
entitled " Epitaphs from Copp's Hill Burying-ground." 
Very respectfully yours, 

JosEPU B. Felt, 

Librarian.
